All about the Radio this week...

Mmmm...this week in class, it is all about community radio. Now, this is something I have absolutely no clue...in other word, I am radio illiterate. You know, it wasn't until I was 12 years old, before I realized there were words coming out of the radio. I had NO idea that there were people singing on the radio, I just thought there were just instruments playing (same concept of classical music, such as Mozart and Beethoven.)

In all honesty, I can't be bothered with the radio. It is no good to me! But I am trying to be open minded about it, and how it can affect people world wide. I read a post from one of my fellow students saying that how not everybody has an access to a TV but nearly all has an access to a radio. I actually found this site that confirms it: Radio reaches 96% of all consumers every week. That is pretty impressive! More so than TV. It actually makes sense since where is watching of TV occurs? Mostly at home, so that is restrictive. However, with a radio, you can listen it anywhere in the world, pretty much, so you have full access to a radio no matter where you are.

So, after reading that, I am quite jealous of the hearing people now! :o) I have nothing to listen to while driving, on the train, or even at work. Only if I could hear!
